🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Elon Musk just called Trump’s Big Bullshit Bill a “disgusting abomination” - but Illinois Governor JB Pritzker isn’t buying the act.

“You made your bed. Now you will lie in it,” Pritzker fired back.

👏👏👏 Thank you, Governor, for saying what we’re all thinking.

Democrats Have One Shot, One Opportunity—Are They About to Let It Slip? The debate for the future of the Democratic Party rages on. Hot takes abound, but specific solutions remain elusive. My thoughts on the matter.

Opinion | ‘This Is What We Were Always Scared of’: DOGE Is Building a Surveillance State DOGE is rapidly assembling a sprawling monitoring system, the foundation of many authoritarian regimes.

Elon Musk may be stepping back from the federal government, Julia Angwin writes, “but his legacy there is already secured. DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system for the Trump administration — the likes of which we have never seen in the U.S.”

Opinion | Naval Academy Censors Ryan Holiday’s Lecture on Censorship How a lecture to the U.S. Naval Academy on censorship was censored.

Just before the author Ryan Holiday was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Naval Academy, he was asked not to mention the recent removal of 381 supposedly controversial books from the campus library. Holiday refused, and the talk was canceled. This is the story he was going to tell.

"FRIENDS, REMEMBER THAT $83,300,000 DEFAMATION SUIT TRUMP LOST? WELL, HE'S APPEALING IT. AND GUESS WHO HE WANTS TO PAY FOR HIS LAWYERS. YOU. THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER." — E. JEAN CARROLL Occupy Democrats

THEY’RE NUKING THE ECONOMY ON PURPOSE TO BRING THE PUBLIC TO ITS KNEES. THEN THEY’LL CONSOLIDATE ALL POWER. If you follow the path of most modern dictators they all follow the same exact steps. GOING AFTER THE JUDICIARY, THE MEDIA, AND COLLEGES. IT’S THE EXACT SAME PLAYBOOK. @ACTATUMONLINE Occupy Democrats

Finally *liberated* from a strong economy, record stock market, and historically low unemployment.

E.P.A. Offers a Way to Avoid Clean-Air Rules: Send an Email Referring to a little-known provision, it said power plants and others could write to seek exemptions to mercury and other restrictions and that “the president will make a decision.”

Trump has set up an “electronic mailbox” for corporations to ask him for exemptions to the Clean Air Act.

The exemptions would allow companies to pollute the air with mercury, which can cause brain damage and birth defects.

Blatantly ILLEGAL!! #Resist

Police and SWAT teams are providing security for Tesla dealerships nationwide. If only schools received the same level of protection.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

The Trump administration has just removed a federal ban on contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains.

This is a result of Trump’s executive order to combat DEI.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A point to consider.
